Usage of antibiotics in ruminants and horses Flashcards
Ruminants and ABs
AB are not allowed in adult ruminants becuase thye can be killed by the rumen flora, it is only used in calves w/AB orally
how should AB be given to ruminants
only by local injection or orally
in what cases can we use AB in ruminants?
respiratory infections
food disorders (++ milk cattle)
mastitis
whih bacteria does not respond to penicillin?
staphylococci - they produce B-lactamase enzyme causing the penicillin to be decomposed
what are the different groups of first choice antibiotics against gram positive infections?
narrow spectrum penicillins (gr+; streptococcus, bacillus, clostridium)
broad spectrum penicillins
penicillinase resistant penicillins
substances in the narrow spectrum penicillins (ru)
benzylpenicillins
procain + benzathine
narrow spectrum penicillins (Ru)- indications
rare
airway infections
foot diseases
wounds
narrow spectrum penicillins(Ru) - administration
injection SC, IM
never IV
broad spectrum penicillin(Ru) -substances
amoxicillin
amoxicillin+ claculanic acid
broad spectrum penicillin(Ru) - indication
airway infections
foot diseases
broad spectrum penicillin(Ru) - administration
in case of resp: IM, SC
foot disease: combinations, amoxicillin
penicillinase resistant penicillins (ru) - substances
oxacillins
cloxacillin
dicloxacillin
flucloxacillin
penicillinase resistant penicillins (ru) - indications
gram+
mastitis
penicillinase resistant penicillins (ru) - administration
locally: intramammary infusion
resistant against penicillinase enzyme only when the PBP change (mutant) = staphylococci
dot act agaisnt MRSA or MRSP
name the 1st and 2nd generation cefalosporins
cefalexin cefapirin cefacetril cefacetril cefazolin cefuroxime
indications of 1st and 2nd generation cefalosporins (ru)
gram-positive mastitis
administration of 1&2 generation cefalosporins (ru)
give them locally as an intramammary infusion
3rd generation cefalosporins (ru)
ceftiofur
cefoperazon
indications of 3rd generation cefalosporins
airway infections
foot diseases
mastitis, metritis
two types of ceftiofur and their administration
hydrochloride and crystalline free acid (long duration
IM or SC locally as intrammamry infusions
what is the advantage of treating dairy cattle with ceftiofur?
it will not cross the blood-milk-barrier
4th generation substances
cefquinome
cefquinome indication?
airway infections
mastitis
cefquinome administration
locally or as an injection
aminoglycoside substances (ru)
neomycin gentamicin (fastidious bacteria) apramycin spectinomycin (mycoplasma) paromomycin
aminoglycosides given per os treats?
diarrhea in calves and lambs
which aminoglycosides are good for the airways?
gentamicin, spectinomycin (+lincomycin)
